The internet has broken most cultural barriers whereby people are now able to talk almost freely to anyone in the world regardless of location. The problem with digital conversation is that sometimes missinterpretation can actually have huge impacts on peoples relationships with one another. Maybe my design could draw on these issues and address them in a way that enhances communication via instant chat applications. Body language and tone are two of the most crucial aspects of communication that help emphasize emotive responses to certain topics. By not having this available online people sometimes dont fully decode what the person is trying to say to them.
Maybe my chat application could have an addon feature that enables users to select emotive responsives whislt typing. The visualisation will adapt transforming shape colour, tempo and sound to relate to how the user is feeling. Adding a new depth to web chatting that counteracts the absent body language and tone.
